Quite the contrary, I feel motivated to push back that farmland polygon back to the French polygon where it belongs :) That was done in Flanders when the landuse was remapped in more detail, but it turns out it didn’t happen in Wallonia

Awesome work, thanks for sharing. I did similar stuff back in 2014 with osm history data, but it was way more complex at the time. And the tools aren’t maintained anymore. And my maps aren’t online anymore it seems…osm.org/user/joost%20schouppe/diary/21826

That looks very cool! Looking forward to playing with this

A big thank you to you and all the board members, those outgoing and the new ones. I hope y’all get an executive director soon, as it is clearly more and more demanding to do this as a volunteer.

Just for the record: our current use of the tool in Wallonia is just for field testing. While it uses the exact same tool as was approved for importing buildings in Flanders, we do still have to go through the formal import approving process (as is mentioned on our wiki pages about this process)

While https://github.com/osmbe/road-completion was built with road centerlines in mind, it might be adapted to your usecase.

Worth mentioning that Visit Flanders became a Corporate Member of OpenStreetMap Belgium during the process. They came to us with the idea to make a significant donation, because they thought it was the right thing to do.

Maps.me is (was) different indeed. From an analysis of Notes I made a few years back :

[if] the Note was made through osm.org or an unknown app, […] about 40% [of Note posters reply after another contributer commented to their note] . However, if the Note was made with Maps.me, response rate was only about 10%.

That information was automatically queried from the osm api in the old tool. Code available in https://github.com/osmbe/osm-welcome-tool/tree/1.x I just got an updated dump of all the data for BE, if I find some time, I’ll process it into a simple file.

Mateusz, I did some statistical analysis of this in Belgium a few years ago. There was not enough data to conclude much at all. Hopefully a dump of all the data the old welcome tool collected still exists; maybe with more data a more full on analysis can be done. Would there be any volunteers to analyse this data?

Hi BC, Just post an issue on the repository then. Direct link: https://github.com/osmbe/osm-welcome-tool/issues/new If you can’t or won’t use Github, just send me a private message and I’ll follow up with you

Hey H4N5, This article is rather old by now. For a current status on the project, see https://github.com/osmbe/road-completion/ The missing segments are available somewhere there, you could download them - or just navigate them on MapRoulette We also have a bunch of tasks that were marked as “too hard to fix” in MapRoulette. It would be awesome if you could include some of those when you go out surveying. For now, we have focused on “core road network” because those can usually be fixed from your backchair. But we’ve been thinking about how to extend the effort to the paths that are also included in Wegenregister. That would also benefit a lot from people like you who want to hit the road. For Mapillary images: I used both Osmand and Brouter with the overlay you mention. It’s a little annoying that Mapillary broke the service they used, and that it’s still not fixed in these applications…
